The name of our habitat is "Moutere" which means "Island" in Maori.This has been a project that I have been working on for our habitat to enhance our PB4L.
Each students name is on a picture of a coconut. If the student has been demonstrating positive behaviour for their learning, then we advise the students to move their names up on the tree.
If the students are misbehaving or not following habitat expectations, then they would be advised to move their coconuts down.
There is a message behind each step and that is explained more in depth to the students when launching the PB4L model. However, there are also picture prompts and explanations presented to the students to remind them of what each step represents.
Each step defined below:
Flying High - I am working at my full potential
Climbing Up - I am trying to better myself
Ready To Learn - I am focused and ready to learn
Drifting Away - I need to focus and get back to being ready to learn
Stormy Seas - I need to stop and think about my choices. I will have a consequence
Shipwrecked - Talk to parents. I will have a consequence
The students are really engaged in this model and has been actively used on a daily basis.
